Liberal National Party of Queensland

The Liberal National Party of Queensland (LNP) is a conservative political party in Queensland, Australia. The party was formed in 2008 as a merger of the state divisions of the Liberal Party of Australia and the National Party of Australia, but, at the federal level and in other states, the Liberals and Nationals are separate parties (albeit in a coalition). The LNP was a major party in the state, rivaling the Australian Labor Party's state affiliate.
